EarthNow Presentations at Aldo Leopold Nature Center
As part of an ongoing partnership between CIMSS and the Aldo Leopold Nature Center (ALNC), Patrick Rowley and Brenna Holzhauer (ALNC) conducted a climate change and health presentation on the center's NOAA Science On a Sphere (SOS) exhibit.
The presentation showcased multiple data visualizations developed as part of a NOAA Office of Education (OED) grant: "Interpreting Real-time Weather and Climate Data for Spherical Displays" (EarthNow), including a recently released story on the effects and causes of tropical widening. The SOS presentation, in conjunction with a an evening lecture and museum tour, was well-attended.
